Wristband enables wearers to control a robotic hand with their own movements By moving their hands and fingers, users can direct a robot to play piano or shoot a basketball, or they can manipulate objects in a virtual environment.
Discover how robots can help push the realms of science and engineering with the latest robotics news, features and articles.
MIT researchers at the School of Architecture and Planning developed a speech-to-reality system that combines generative AI, natural language processing, and robotic assembly to fabricate physical objects from spoken prompts.
A squishy robotic "eye" can focus automatically in response to light, without any external power. The ultrapowerful robotic lens is sensitive enough to distinguish hairs on an ant's leg or the ...

A new robot system can reorient over 2,000 different objects, with a robotic hand facing both upwards and downwards. The work was developed at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).
Like a growing vine, a new robotic gripper can snake around and lift a variety of objects, including a glass vase and a watermelon, offering a gentler approach than conventional gripper designs. A larger version of the robo-tendrils can also safely lift a human out of bed.
MIT roboticists developed a way to cut through data noise and help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans. The system could be used in smart manufacturing and warehouse settings where robots would work alongside and assist humans.
